All of us like to take a vacation and "Get out of Dodge", as the saying goes. Most of the Greg "Splashin'" McShea family vacations are spent right in the U.S.A (OK, we did visit the Canadian side of Niagara Falls once).

Most of us will be taking vacations during the "Frog Days Of Summer", and when it's only few days away, you want to make sure that you're good to go.

The "Frog Days Of Summer" are here, and vacations are just around the corner. I don't know about you, but every year when we go away on vacation, I always bring plenty of books and magazines to read on the beach. We all have different tastes, so I don't expect that you will be reading what I am.

That was a line said by actor Karl Malden reminding people to make sure they always took travelers' checks on vacation or when out of town. Some of you may be asking, "What are travelers' checks"?

Spring Break – Which Way To The Beach?
For many college students in the area , this week is Spring Break. And have things changed. When I was in college, those who had enough cash and gas in the VW Bug, would head down to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida (or Myrtle Beach, South Carolina if the gas money ran out).

One of the wonders of the world is right here in New York State...Niagara Falls.
